It’s one of our favorite times of year – Spring Break! Not only is the weather getting warmer and days getting longer, but we also get to see so many of our friends come out and visit us on their time off from school. Special programming will be held during Spring Break Week, as a preview to our summer programming, which include opportunities to see and learn more about your favorite animals at the Zoo from zoo keepers, naturalists, and docents. View and download/print the schedule below or here.
All spring break programming is free with Zoo admission.
Do you have a passion for some of the scaly species? This is the weekend for you! Reptile Weekend is dedicated to the lizards, snakes, and other animals of those species in our care here at the Zoo. While they are not the biggest or fluffiest – we love them just the same and they play just as crucial a part in their ecosystems as many of the bigger mammals that are typically more thought of.
More info coming soon!
